This endorsement confirmed Canada’s commitment to a renewed, nation-to-nation, Inuit-Crown and government-to-government relationship with Indigenous peoples – a relationship based on recognition of rights, respect, co-operation and partnership.

The UN Declaration Act also requires the federal government to work in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous peoples to prepare an annual report on the progress of implementing the Action Plan and measures that ensure the federal laws are consistent with the UN Declaration.
